With modern-day tools, worldwide connectivity and high-tech GPS systems, embarking on a thrills-and-spills adventure has become almost a laughable affair, but this doesn’t mean our spirit of adventure has been sentenced to a slow, painful death. These five tours are bound to keep the adrenaline junkie’s heart racing.
Come Face-to-Face with Snow Leopards
With an estimated wild population of between 4,080 and 6,590, snow leopards have been classified as vulnerable on World Wildlife Fund’s extinction risk index. These elusive big cats are an apex predator on snowy mountains, preferring harsh, inhospitable environments above the tree line and up to 5,500m in the Himalayas. To catch sight of one would require the perfect confluence of chance, expert tracking, and utmost patience.
With its Snow Leopard Journey, &Beyond offers a once-in-a-lifetime wildlife adventure to intrepid travellers. The tour begins with a day in Delhi before two days of acclimatisation in the highland city of Leh, at around 3,500m in elevation. Here, guests will learn about the history of snow leopard conservation in Ladakh at the Snow Leopard Conservancy and visit sites of cultural interest such as the Royal Palace and Thiksey monastery.
